    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 06:27 AM PST

    Welcome to Monday!

    Thank you Zooey posting the weekend thread. You'll be happy to know, the desk building did not go well, ikea will not accept returns broken, and covered in tears, and that I'm now banned from ikea.

    Anyway, let's get the week going with another question megathread!

    Post all the questions you may have about anything STO-related! PC? Console? Everyone's welcome to post their questions here!

    Happy flying!

    Controller support? Or is there a way to shoehorn it in?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 09:36 AM PST

    I see this game is on console so I wonder if there is any controller support on PC or a way to make it work? XD

    Oldish video card and artifacts

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 09:46 AM PST

    Oldish video card and artifacts

    Since the last upgrade before last ( i.e. last week) I am getting a lot of this .....

    The card is a 4 year old Radeon R7 (latest driver), yet it has no issues at doing other things and has no obvious signs of imminent failure.

    I had this issue a year or so ago for a short while, and then the problem vanished. Have tried most video settings, and am currently running minimum graphics settings to no avail.

    Not sure what could be causing this, and there doesn't seem to be anyone else chatting about this problem, so is probably pretty unique to me ? {There is a thread of a short while ago chatting about subtle texture issues, but nothing this severe}

    Any ideas ?

    Class questions

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 05:23 AM PST

    I've been doing a lot of research the last day or two, but a lot of the information I'm finding is outdated and I'm having some trouble with a couple things still. I've been thinking about either doing a Gorn science captain or a Romulan engineer with the kdf. I've seen things people say in several different threads that Engineers are a noob trap and not very good at endgame, but the most recent mention I can find is about a year old so I don't know if that is current. And also, would playing a Gorn be a bad idea? From what I can tell it seems like their traits are very good, and I wouldn't want to gimp myself for endgame PVP or anything.

    I will be playing on console if that makes a difference, with a friend that will be either an engineer or science klingon.

    T6 Ship upgrade from Odyssey Tactical advice for a returning player

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 01:18 AM PST

    Hey all,

    Just to add im mostly looking at Fleet T6 Ships, as i have more than enough resources to buy any fleet T6.

    So basically i used to play back in the day when the Odyssey Tactical cruiser was one of the best ships in the game that everybody wanted, so its fitted for that with a tactical / DPS built officer

    Coming back, i have been looking around alot and i put together a shield tanking / DPS Skilled character towards beam weaponry.

    So i was wondering which T6 Cruiser would best compliment/feel like an upgrade to the old school Odyssey.

    Increasing Accuracy

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 05:22 AM PST

    Hi all,

    Not long got back into the game, and when I played before I very much just played because I liked Star Trek, never really worried about stats of my ship or anything, just used what I liked the look of.

    Now I'm back though I've decided I'd get a bit more out of the game by actually focusing on what my stats are, and improving them.

    One that I'm a tad confused with though is accuracy. I've tried googling and looked at the stuff on the sidebar and over in r/stobuilds but I still can't wrap my head around my accuracy rating. As it stands, with all my buffs active I have 33 accuracy. Is this good? Bad? Is this 33% or is 33 just a number that equates to a %?

    Tia for answers.

    Cooldown timers at different speeds XB1

    Posted: 25 Nov 2019 05:04 AM PST

    I'm going to send in a ticket about this but wanted to see if anyone else had encountered it first as I've never heard of this before. I play on Xbox.

    I was running a Vanguard carrier and the heavy raider pet summoned by the console was on cooldown when my frigate pets launched and went on cooldown. I noticed something on the timers...they go at different rates. The cooldown timer for the console pet is about half the speed of the regular pets. For every second counted down on the console pet, the regular pet timer would count at least 2 seconds. I did a quick screen cap/video of the timers but it was the oddest thing. I tried replicating it several times and it was the same on at least 2 characters every time.

    Now I'm concerned and wondering if I need to check ALL of my timers to make sure others aren't also experiencing this.

    Has anyone else encountered timers running at different speeds?

    Do you have a "waitlist" on Zen ships?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2019 10:05 PM PST

    Well, for some personal issues and that i'm supporting a friend 'cause here at México we have a shortage on public health, i have decided i have to halt my next ship purchase at least of one or 2 weeks more (yes, i know i might lose Black Friday sales).

    But to feel a bit better, i was making a list on my waitlist of ships to buy from the C-store. And to be honest, i feel my list isn't too long. But almost each ship has a different reason to be on the list.

    So, why you don't share your waitlist? And the reasons for those ships to be there? I'll start!

    ​

    1.- Lethean Nemosin Pilot Escort

    Reason: I used the last's year T6 cupon on the Andorian Chimesh for the Improved Gravity Well Trait, and since GW is almost a MUST on all my builds one way or another, i decided i need that trait for my KDF aligned toons too (Yep, i used the cupon too early, before Romulan ships could be used by all).

    ​

    2.- Jem'hadar Vaguard Carrier

    Reason: My main and only Dominion toon is a scientist. I already have the JH Dreadnought, but i feel i can't use the full sci potential on that ship, and the Carrier is the only JH ship with Commander Sci seating, so... (Yep, i will make an ENG or TAC JH toon later, after i discover wich career is more efficient with the Dreadnought).

    ​

    3.- Varel Science Miracle Worker Warbird

    Reason: Mostly the trait "Photonic Boarding Party"... yes, i'm a bit mad, and i want to try making an "assault ship" of my T6 Walker, boarding and boarding the enemy ships so they can't work correctly. Yep, i also have the augmented boarding party there, so, why not? :P. And well, It has to be a Warbird so i can get the trait on all my toons, just in case.

    ​

    4.- Dewan Dynnasia Pilot Escort

    Reason: Also, mostly the trait "Painful Memories", since in fact my common weakness is that i tend to lack on ENG aggressive skills, and well, that trait also could help on foes that are faster than me. And also it would be fun to have a Mr. Brushie ship on my fleetyards :P

    ​

    5.- "Defiant Bundle" (Valiant, Kor & Malem)

    Reason: I like the 3 ships, and it's one of the bundles i DON'T want to break, since i know i will use all of them. And i also have T4 & T5 Defiant, so with having a battle cloak on a FED toon will be nice :P

    ​

    6.- Reliant Advanced Light Cruiser

    Reason: For strange that it might sound, while i love the TWOK era, i don't have a single TWOK era toon. And to correct that, i require an TWOK era apropiate ship. While i like the Excelsior, i'm a bit more fan of the Miranda class. Yeah, maybe a T6 Connie would be better, but it's very expensive... and TBH, when i have a T6 connie, i will be peculiar and use the 25c Exeter style instead of the TOS or TWOK styles. I'm not afraid to break this bundle, since my only goal here is the Reliant, nothing more.

    ​

    So, wich ships are on the waiting line for your next purchase, girls and boys?

    Have carrier pets gotten any better lately?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2019 05:53 PM PST

    I've been playing RDR2 and RE2R lately and I haven't played in like 8 months. I see the discovery ships have carrier pets so should I believe that the development team has finally overhauled the Pets AI to make them not dumb as a deer in headlights?... do they actually engage the enemy as intended or do they still circle and let their one turret do all the damage?. If so can we get a pet that has three turrets and cannon rapid fire?

    Color skins not working on PS4 or am I missing something.

    Posted: 24 Nov 2019 09:46 PM PST

    I can change the skins of the ships I got, mix and match different hull, nacelle, and pylon combinations. Somehow however, the colors don't work. My Ferengi D'Kora has been going around all silly Fed White. So does my Kazon Raider. They look like as if the Fed commandeered and painted both ships. It completely destroys the purpose of blending in with the natives. The color changes when I use the Custom Ship menus, but when I return to the ship or head to an event, it goes back to some default Fed color and stripes. Why? Am I missing something or do I still have to pay for something to make the color options work? Shield skins do work.

    Assignment: Invest in Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

    The nutshell is that if you buy 1) missiles 2) rule 62 device and 3) tachyon mines from the lobby store at 200 each, you can get "set two" and "set three" powers.
    Set three powers gives you special duty officer assignment. Called "invest in once in a lifetime opportunity" and you spend Spent 500 gold pressed latinum, and you get a bunch of junk, but what kind of junk is it? That's a lot iI I wasted if they are not spectacular items. Has anyone took the plunge?

    How to decide which DOFF to release to make room...

    Posted: 24 Nov 2019 04:42 PM PST

    I now have 99 DOFFs. I'm fairly sure that 100 is the limit. How do I decide whom to release, or sacrifice to a fleet, or sacrifice to the vulcan upgrade vendor at Starfleet Academy?

    I'm currently maining a Federation Vulcan and have been favoring a beams build with coalition disruptors.

    T6 Federation Assault Cruiser Question

    Posted: 24 Nov 2019 05:47 PM PST

    What's the biggest difference between the Command Assault Cruiser and the Intel Assault Cruiser? I'm looking to purchase one of these soon, but at a glance, the appear to be the the same ship. What am I overlooking?
